Comrade Vladimirsky!

I ask you to read the "Draft Decree of the Council of Labour and Defence" and inform me of your opinion on whether it would be expedient to extend the reports to all People's Commissariats (we shall then issue them from the Council of People's Commissars, not from the Council of Labour and Defence), printing 100-300 copies of the report for each district (in brief summary form).

With communist greetings,
Lenin
